I'm not sure who the other 1Ls on here are in real life...jaskat wrote:I see how it is, excluding us other 1L's from helping....
The LGBT student association has been pretty active...neonx wrote:Is there any semblance of an LGBT community at Iowa?

Honestly, I have been too concerned with getting through the semester to worry about OCI. There are 3L's who are getting jobs in Chicago and Minneapolis and one girl I talked to yesterday was interviewing for a firm in DC and for the Philly DA's office but that's all anecdotal...TommyK wrote:TommyK wrote:What has OCI been like recently?

Thanks. Sorry - forgot this was 1Ls and it's not quite in their world yet. Good luck with exams.Slimpee wrote:Honestly, I have been too concerned with getting through the semester to worry about OCI.

It is ridiculously cold now. I think it got as low as -11 the other day, and that isn't even counting the wind chill. I don't care where you are from, -11 is miserable.chrisbru wrote:JOThompson wrote:I'm from the west coast and have found the weather to be tolerable and sometimes even decent.

I heard you guys finally got Iowa winter weather... How are you holding up now?
Depends on the professor. There are 3 teaching Con Law right now, 2 use Chemerinsky and 1 uses Sullivan & Gunther.jam88 wrote:What conlaw book do you use?
Also, do you ever get sick of having everything all in one building?
I know there are some students with scholarships who do not have the stipulation, so at least that shows that it is POSSIBLE to have a scholarship without a stipulation. From what I can tell it is rare, however. I can't say much about scholarship negotiation other than it couldn't hurt.chrisbru wrote:Do you think it would be possible to negotiate my stipulations out of my scholarship offer? Or negotiate them lower? I *plan* on staying top 1/3rd, but I'd like some reassurance in case my mom gets sick like she did during UG.
